About Me

Losing a tooth or two may not seem like a big deal, but it can be. I lost several teeth to decay five years ago. At the time, I didn't think much about my tooth loss. I simply carried on with my life. But as the years passed, I began to experience problems with eating. I couldn't chew anything without hurting my gums or biting my tongue. After awhile, I stopped eating my favorite foods and ate things that didn't require much chewing. But after becoming ill from a lack of nutrition, I finally made a choice to replace my missing teeth with dental implants. Now, I feel great and can eat again. I want to share the dangers of tooth loss and other dental problems with you through my blog. I also talk about things you can do to improve your dental health. Thanks for reading and good luck.
